Originally posted by Creslin321 Yeah, why not War and Peace MMORPG? Fully voiced over. In Russian of course. No language barrier can stop a real grown up MMORPG connaisseur. Of course with an optional Learning Ruski in 7 days tutorial included for the not so intellectual people and some bloodski and boobski on the cover. |

The single player Game of Thrones is one of the worst games I have ever bought, it was borning and just plan bad. I want nothing to do with an MMO based on the Game of Thrones after playing that single player game. Sooner or Later |

Originally posted by someforumguy You laugh, but the manual to some strategy games that I like to play like Dominions 3 or Europa Universalis probably isn't far off from War and Peace ;). Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Originally posted by Cembrye Well let's not pretend that the Timesinks and Tedium of Sandbox design is a good fit for the IP either. Game of Thrones definitely isn't about travel timesinks and tedious crafting and an empty world. It's about Interesting Events and Intigue. So a faithful MMORPG would focus on those consequences and choices and make them a frequent part of play. |

Originally posted by Creslin321 Wasn't my point. Funcom tried to make a grown up game (in rating) that would sell. Having boobs and blood helps with that. That doesnt mean that they also automatically think grown ups is just about blood and boobs. I think this is quite obvious. I've played my fair share of Avalon Hill strategic boardgames and pen and paper rpgs. Not that I still would want that. I'm very glad that the pcgames make it possible that you as player have a lot less rules to learn before you can play. Even with more complex games (just imagine the rule book for EVE Online by using shipmodels and dice Oo ).

Originally posted by Cuathon I haven't played Dom3 in a few months, and I just picked up CK2 so I'll probably be looking to that for my strategy fix. But I did have a bunch of mods installed and CBM may have been one of them. Dom3 really is a great game. It's sad that the only games still made with depth are so niche that they have to be made by like 2 or 3 guys and have 386 level graphics. I still play them because they are just so good from a depth standpoint, but I really wish a big development studio would make a game like Dom3 with all the bells and whistles of the modern era. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Originally posted by someforumguy Apart from the boobs and blood, what part of the game was for "grown-ups"?
And EvE is a good example of a game in which diplomacy, intrigue and "gray morals" come in to play quite a bit. All of it created by the players and have nothing to do with the game "rules" at all... A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes to be true he generally believes to be true... |

Originally posted by someforumguy All I'm saying is that Funcom marketed AoC as a "mature" MMORPG, and to them "mature" appears to have meant the same thing as it does to a movie that comes on Cinemax at 1AM. Personally, it annoys me a little. I don't see what is so mature about boobies and blood. I liked boobies and blood when I was 13 and I still like them today. I don't think I've "matured" into liking them. I'm also not trying to say that I think it's "wrong" to like childish things as an adult. Heck, I love watching cartoons, even My Little Pony lol. The sad thing is that the plots in MLP are sometimes just as complex as the plots in many "adult" shows. In fact, if you literally took the dialogue and plot out of some MLP episodes and redid them as a typical live action sitcom...it would be considered a show for adults. I basically just think it's a sad state of the world in which we define "mature" to just mean things that we normally don't let children see like boobies and blood. And not things that children can't appreciate because they are too complex. It just shows a kind of...lack of development. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Originally posted by Axehilt I agree with you Axehilt but, probably like you, I don't rate the chances of a 'faithful' Game of Thrones MMORPG being made as even worth considering. |

Originally posted by Cuathon Haha indeed! Like... [SPOILER TO LATER BOOKS BELOW HIGHLIGHT TO READ] The amount of time that Tyrion was on that damn ship in A Dance with Dragons. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Originally posted by Creslin321 I think that in this case you have to look at it through the Conan fans' eyes. They expected blood and boobs because the comics have them too. I don't know the comics well, I just remembered all the writing about it on the forums in anticipation of the game. And I'm sorry that you just woke up and discovered that sad state of the world (in mainstream entertainment anyway) :p |

Originally posted by someforumguy You assume to much. Never was implying that EvE is a grown up game. Just mentioning how a game could have such aspects without it being part of the rule set or being "guided" by the developer. Sorry for confusing you. A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes to be true he generally believes to be true... |

Mature games eh? Complex games? Adult games? After 10 hours in the office, kids, house to clean, dinner to make, bills the last thing I want is a game that is so complex i need weeks to understand it. I want to relax. Complex games are for young people with many many many free hours and a brain to feed. :-) |

Originally posted by someforumguy Your comment about the Conan fans is true. And I agree, the game should have blood and boobs. But as you say, I'm more just lamenting about the fact that "mature" in marketing typically just means "bloody and/or naked" and has nothing to do with complexity. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |
